Did you know that July is Smart Irrigation Month? And you can celebrate smart watering techniques by investing in organic lawn care.

Organic lawn care uses a system that requires less water usage as well as uses all of the beneficial lawn care practices that promote a healthy, green yard.

In this article, you’ll learn more about organic lawn care, how it helps you save money on your water bill as well as conserve water at the same time.

Organic Lawn Care

How does organic lawn care differ from conventional methods?

First, it uses products that are all natural or organic with no synthetic ingredients. Second, natural lawn care works with your soil to produce a healthy lawn.

For example, we’ll perform a soil test on your property before we set up our organic lawn care program with you. Your soil leads the way to a healthy lawn. Next, we will do what the soil test tells us. It will tell us whether to put lime or gypsum, how much fertilizer and how much soil amendments are needed.

Here are three other benefits of using organic lawn care:

Organic fertilizers not only help the lawn & soil, but the product lasts longer than conventional methods

Likewise, you can check to see if your irrigation system is delivering the right amount of water throughout your entire lawn. For example, you can put coffee cans throughout your yard to measure total water amounts.

If you find that one area of your yard is getting too little water while another area is getting too much, you can adjust your nozzle heads so that your yard grass is getting the right amount of water in every section.

Plus, your Smartphone will save you a ton of time when it’s hooked up to your watering system. You can set what time you want your irrigation system to go on and off and how much water your lawn needs.

You can add weather or moisture sensors to your existing system to shut off the sprinklers when there is a rainstorm or the moisture in the soil hits a maximum amount.

Five Additional Tips for Saving Water

There’s more to organic lawn practices than non-synthetic fertilizers. Indeed, there are yard care practices that work hand-in-hand with organic products. Here are five bonus tips to reduce your outdoor water usage:

Only take the top third off your grass when you mow

Use different directions each time you cut your grass

Invest in core aeration and reseeding every fall

Use organic compost to add natural nutrients to your soil

Hire a professional lawn service to perform all of the above activities

You can save money on your water bills as well as develop a vibrant lawn at the same time when you invest in organic lawn care.
